Prevention of interference by optimum configuration
Good interference suppression can be achieved by installing SIMATIC PLCs on conducting mounting plates (unpainted). When setting up the control cabinet, interference can be prevented easily by observing certain guidelines. Power components (transformers, drive units, load power supply units) should be arranged separately from the control components (relay control unit, SIMATIC S7).
As a rule:
•The effect of the interference decreases as the distance between the interference source and interference sink increases.
•The interference can be further decreased by installing grounded shielding plates.
•The load connections and power cables should be installed separately from the signal cables with a minimum clearance of 10 cm.

Filtering of the supply voltage
External interference from the mains can be prevented by installing line filters. Correct installation is extremely important, in addition to appropriate dimensioning. It is essential that the line filter is mounted directly at the cabinet inlet. As a result, interference is filtered promptly at the inlet, and is not conducted through the cabinet.

A high level of immunity to interference can be achieved by avoiding interference sources. All switched inductances are frequent sources of interference in plants.
Suppression of inductance
Relays, contactors, etc. generate interference voltages and must therefore be suppressed using one of the circuits below.
Even with small relays, interference voltages of up to 800 V occur on 24 V coils, and interference voltages of several kV occur on 230 V coils when the coil is switched. The use of freewheeling diodes or RC circuits prevents interference voltages and thus stray interference on conductors installed parallel to the coil conductor.

Potential differences between different parts of a plant can arise due to the different design of the plant components and different voltage levels. If the plant components are connected across signal cables, transient currents flow across the signal cables. These transient currents can corrupt the signals.
Proper equipotential bonding is thus essential.
•The equipotential bonding conductor must have a sufficiently large cross section (at least 10 mm2).
•The distance between the signal cable and the associated equipotential bonding conductor must be as small as possible (antenna effect).
•A fine-strand conductor must be used (better high-frequency conductivity).
•When connecting the equipotential bonding conductors to the centralized equipotential bonding strip (EBS), the power components and non-power components must be combined.
•The equipotential bonding conductors of the separate modules must lead directly to the equipotential bonding strip.

Figure 4-27 Equipotential bonding (EBS = Equipotential bonding strip)
The better the equipotential bonding in a plant, the smaller the chance of interference due to fluctuations in potential.
Equipotential bonding should not be confused with protective earthing of a plant. Protective earthing prevents the occurrence of excessive shock voltages in the event of equipment faults whereas equipotential bonding prevents the occurrence of differences in potential.

RF300 system planning 4.6 EMC Directives
Signal cables must be shielded in order to prevent coupling of interference.
The best shielding is achieved by installing the cables in steel tubes. However, this is only necessary if the signal cable is routed through an environment prone to particular interference. It is usually adequate to use cables with braided shields. In either case, however, correct connection is vital for effective shielding.
Note
An unconnected or incorrectly connected shield has no shielding effect.
As a rule:
•For analog signal cables, the shield should be connected at one end on the receiver side
•For digital signals, the shield should be connected to the enclosure at both ends
•Since interference signals are frequently within the HF range (> 10 kHz), a large-area HFproof shield contact is necessary

The shielding bus should be connected to the control cabinet enclosure in a manner allowing good conductance (large-area contact) and must be situated as close as possible to the cable inlet. The cable insulation must be removed and the cable clamped to the shielding bus (high-frequency clamp) or secured using cable ties. Care should be taken to ensure that the connection allows good conductance.

Figure 4-29 Connection of shielding bus
The shielding bus must be connected to the PE busbar.
If shielded cables have to be interrupted, the shield must be continued via the corresponding connector housing. Only suitable connectors may be used for this purpose.

If intermediate connectors, which do not have a suitable shield connection, are used, the shield must be continued by fixing cable clamps at the point of interruption. This ensures a large-area, HF-conducting contact.

The reader ensures inductive communication with the transponders, and handles the serial connection to the communication modules/interface modules and 8xIQ-Sense module.
Communication between the transponder and reader takes place over inductive alternating fields.
The transmittable data volume between reader and transponder depends on:
•the speed at which the transponder moves through the transmission window of the reader.
•the length of the transmission window.
•the transponder type (FRAM, EEPROM).
